Description
A delightful and refreshing tropical smoothie that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup fresh or frozen banana slices
- ½ cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- Ice cubes (as needed for desired consistency)
- Fresh fruit or toasted coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and, if using fresh fruits, chop them into manageable pieces.
- In a blender, add the pineapple chunks, banana slices, coconut milk, and orange juice. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey or agave syrup.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add more coconut milk or orange juice to achieve your desired texture.
- For a chillier smoothie, incorporate a few ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and evenly distributed.
- Taste the smoothie and, if needed, adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or agave.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses, ensuring a generous amount in each.
- Optionally, top with fresh fruit or toasted coconut for a decorative touch.
Notes
- This smoothie can be customized with different fruits or additional sweeteners according to your taste.
- For a vegan option, ensure that honey is replaced with agave syrup or maple syrup.
